RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I’ve literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.
I’ve run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don’t work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.

Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.
Isn’t basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?

I didn’t say Ubuntu isn’t used, but it’s by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.

What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn’t hit mainstream years ago
Thanks for giving a reasonable response
I would sure hope not
